Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to estimate your garden schedule. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

A common way of estimating when you can plant myosotis is to examine the USDA zone info for Dallas.

Planting Calendar for Myosotis

When to plant:	Up to 5 weeks before last frost.

Myosotis tend to make it in moderate cold which tells us that you can plant them a little bit earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant myosotis in Dallas is February. However, you really should wait until March if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant myosotis and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your myosotis may not have a chance to really do well. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your myosotis indoors.
